Home Depot to Hire 70,000 Spring Season Associates

January 12, 2012

Home Depot announced plans to hire more than 70,000 seasonal positions to prepare for the busy spring selling season, according to a press release.

"Just as the Christmas rush and holiday hiring ends for many retailers, we begin recruiting for spring seasonal associates to help customers during our busiest selling season," said Tim Crow, executive vice president for Human Resources. "And a seasonal job at The Home Depot can often lead to a regular position if you're passionate about customer service."

Roughly half of all of Home Depot’s 2011 seasonal hires stayed on in a permanent position.

This spring, Home Depot plans to ramp up its promotions with door-buster prices on hundreds of spring’s most sought after products like live goods, lawn care and eco-friendly products and outdoor power equipment.
